Question:
A hydroelectric power plant takes 25 m3/s of water from a large reservoir through its turbine and discharges it to the atmosphere at 1 m/s. The turbine is 50 m below the reservoir surface. The frictional head loss in the system is 10 m. The turbine and electric generator as a whole are 80% efficient. Assuming turbulent flow, calculate the power extracted by the turbine.
